Former marketing manager overcomes depression and low self-esteem using personal branding techniques

Aug. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Claire Hodgson is using her marketing expertise and personal experiences of overcoming depression, a cancer scare, and low self-esteem to teach other women to do the same using a mix of corporate branding and spiritual techniques. Burn the Corset & Live a Life You Love (http://www.clairemichellehodgson.com/burnthecorset/), an 8 week online course, teaches women the tools and techniques Claire used herself to move on from hitting rock bottom to living an amazing life. These tools include the exercises traditionally used to build successful corporate brands, alongside meditation, visualisation, and other spiritual practices. Claire also uses her personal and business experience to teach women how to develop and work towards achievable life goals, set boundaries, and increase their self-esteem and confidence.

Claire’s teachings are designed to enable women to identify what they really want from their lives and then take actionable steps towards achieving it. The information and exercises included in the course offer immediate benefits, such as higher confidence levels and the courage needed to take action.

Claire commented, “Five years ago I was in such a low place, I had hit rock bottom and all areas of my life were suffering. It was being told that I might have cervical cancer that finally pushed me to do something about it and make some much needed changes. It’s taken me 5 years to get where I am today, happy, healthy, and building an amazing life. I don’t want it to take that long for other women, that’s why I designed this course. It offers a faster way to start implementing positive life changes, big and small.”

“I see so many women playing small in their lives, giving up on their dreams, and putting everyone else first. I want to offer them an opportunity to step into their power and build amazing lives. Most women don’t realise that doing this actually positively impacts everyone in their lives, from their spouse and friends, to their children, who see them as a role model.”

Claire, a former technology marketing manager, found corporate life and the traditional views of success stressful and draining. This ultimately saw her spiralling into depression. It was that, coupled with her cancer scare, which made her take action. By working on her mindset and self-esteem she began to see what she really wanted from her life and the path she needed to take to achieve it. This enabled her to develop the 8 week process she now teaches.

Claire continued, “Launching this course feels like I’m coming out of the closet in a way. For this to work I need to be completely open and honest about my own journey and some of the stuff I’ve started opening up about my closest friends and family didn’t even know. It’s scary; some of it really isn’t pretty, but what’s the point of going through this stuff if you can’t use it to help others?”
